You've been fantastic for the community.

The sliders I told you are the only ones I changed by more than 5 ticks. (shooting success sliders are purely user determined). Most are at default values.

I think the roster Im using is giving me a good experience. And there is no way I can export that from within the ML mode. If there is, please let me know.

Ive never suggested otherwise.

But there is no requirement for people who want to say "This game sucks. Devs are lazy. NBA Jam" to go into specific detail on why they hold the opinion they do. The constant comment that "ACE is broken" is a really loaded comment that needs a lot of unpacking. But it's taken uncritically around here.

Ive been clearer than anyone about what Im playing.

Forgive me, I haven't shared and customized rosters. But I think that's possible to do, yes?

Thanks for the compliment, by the way. Others have done more but I'm not into #humblebrag. I just want to experience the game you experience. If we knew each other personally and you could help me get there, could you show me how?

Im not sure Ive been clear. I edited a roster with proper sig shots. Then I went into ML and edited player tendencies/attributed within that league. If I could share that, I would. But it doesnt let you export rosters from within a mode.

I then played 10ish games and decided on a few things I'd like to fix/improve. (More CPU drives, more CPU dunks and blocks, less close jumpers, more CPU oops. I made bad defenders badder, and slow defenders slower, reducing pull up in transition for slow teams and bigs, bigs who can't eurostep etc). I paid special attention to the best 8-10 players on every roster, because that's where the action is.

The rest is just personal preference. From my hazy recollection, Reggie Jackson (it may not have been him) has 3 play types- PNR point, mid range and 3 point. Nah I want him playing exclusively out of the PNR., so I got rid of those last 2 play types. I played the Pistons and got what I wanted. He abused me out of the PNR. This is an eample of what I do to every team.

There's no secret. It's just going through and adjusting to what you want.

You might as well work for 2K, Smirkin Dirk. Not because you defend them or anything, but because you spend so much time tweaking the game!

I'm a fan of giving players sliders to use, but man, I could never spend that amount of time tweaking sliders.

Man this is OS.

This isnt even the most extensive edit I've heard today, lol

Yeah it's a dirty little secret.

All up, it might take me 30-50 hours. But a lot of that is on sig shots. I don't find the game needs a radical overhaul. The last few years have been playing good out of the box. I just feel FOR ME, FOR ME, FOR ME, FOR ME, FOR ME I can tweak it to make it feel very good.

Did I make it clear it feels very good FOR ME? And that my opinion of the limited mode I play should not in any way indicate the gaming experience you or your significant others are likely to enjoy.

I am hereby absolving myself of any legal responsibility should you not have a simulation style experience. By reading this post you are waiving the right to sue Smirkin Dirk as a private entity or as paid Chairman of the 2K Fanboys Association.
